Not knowing the state of Theresa’s relationship with Peter and desperate to get rid of Peter’s entanglement, she babbled on.
Peter turned around, and sure enough, he saw Theresa standing not far away.
The two looked at each other from a distance, and although they could not see each other’s eyes, Adriana could actually find the kind of coldness and detachment that had arisen between the two of them.
“Did you guys … have a fight?”
Adriana looks at the hilarity with an unconcerned and high-minded attitude.
Theresa stood in place for a few seconds and then walked towards this way, her makeup exquisite, she smiled warmly at Adriana, “Mr. Boone, you’re here too?”
“Just passing by. Then you guys talk, I’ll go first.”
Adriana seized the opportunity, pulled open the limo door, got into the car and left.
The car was extremely fast and seemed to have some hasty escape.
Not knowing how far she had gone, she pulled over to the side of the road, closed her eyes and leaned back in the main driver’s seat to rest.
Peter …
A man she could not forget but could not get close to.
Every time a man’s close to him, will let her heart like a dead heart has ignited a star fire, but wait until she sees the reality, and then want to pull away from him.
As before, there was a glimmer of hope for Peter, until yesterday at the hospital when I learned that he and Theresa used such a fierce drug when they were playing in the water, and only then did I learn that he and Theresa were both having a good time.
“Adriana, can’t you be a little more competitive?”
She reached out and slapped her hand on the steering wheel and honked the horn.
Adriana feels that she has no talent, can restrain everything, but can not restrain that kind of deep marrow emotion.
Especially when faced with Peter, can’t do it ruthlessly.
But perhaps it was the feeling that there was a gap between Peter and Theresa and the two of them were not as close as she thought, leaving her holding the bag until yesterday when she witnessed everything and was truly desperate.
She stayed alone in the car for a long time, until her secretary Rene’s phone call came in, informing her not to forget to talk to Brenden about the cooperation in the afternoon, then she picked up her spirit, organized herself and found a restaurant nearby for dinner.
…
Hospital.
After Theresa watched Adriana drive away, she stood awkwardly in front of Peter, not expecting that she had only come to see a doctor because her neck was too painful after being vigorously stuck by Peter’s main neck, and not expecting to actually meet Peter here.
“Peter …”
She called out.
The voice was hoarse beyond recognition, so low that it was impossible to hear her clearly.
“I … am sorry, yesterday was my bad.”
Theresa had tried to speak as loudly as she could, but her voice was still very deep and coarse.
Peter turned his back on her and didn’t say anything.
“That necklace … I did not have time to explain to you. The first thing that I did was to give her some help. Adriana was very grateful, but had nothing to give back to me, only to say that the necklace as a token between the two, a good bosom friend for life.
Who knows that time I wore the necklace in a western restaurant for dinner, I met you suddenly appeared in front of me, pulling the necklace around my neck, and then the eyes shone with excited starbursts, saying that I was the person you had been looking for for a long time.”
Theresa words a meal, swallowed, moistened the pain of the throat, then said: “At that moment I was a little confused, do not know what happened. Later, I gradually understood that you were good to me because of the necklace, but at that time I had already fallen.
Peter, I never believe in love at first sight, but at the moment I saw you I finally understood what love at first sight means, I fell in love with you and couldn’t help myself. So I selfishly kept the secret and didn’t tell anyone. Including … Adriana.”
She told all the story with great sincerity.
It is not known how much truthfulness there is.
“You know I hate lies!”
Peter turned around and his sharp eyes fell on her body, the pupils with a good cold light seemed to be able to shoot straight into the depths of her mind and see into her disguise as if.
“I’m sorry.”
She bowed her head, tears falling like rain, “I know you won’t forgive me, Peter, I don’t ask for your forgiveness, I just want … to wish you well. I wish you happiness. But Adriana is dead, I hope you don’t fall into the painful shadow of the past, you should come out as soon as possible.”
“I don’t need you to worry about my business.”
Peter’s gaze is gloomy and his words are devoid of any emotion.
“Good. But … Peter, there’s something I want to tell you.”
She wanted to say something but didn’t.
“Don’t want to hear it.”
The man coldly dropped a sentence and walked directly towards his sedan.
“I found … Adriana’s … sister.”
Seeing how determined she was to go, Theresa raised her voice with difficulty and said loudly.
At the word, Peter’s pace was a beat, stiffened in place, the fruit basket in his hand should fall, the fruit inside also broke through the bag, scattered all over the place.
“What do you mean? You found Adriana’s sister? Isn’t she an orphan?”
Peter turned around and took three steps forward, clasping Theresa’s shoulders with his big palms, unable to contain his excitement.
The slightly hard hand clasped Theresa’s shoulder pain, but can only die to endure the pain, not dare to squeak.
“No, no, it’s not right to say that. Actually, it was just an accidental finding of a girl who looks very, very much like Adriana, who is younger than Adriana, perhaps perhaps a long-lost sister.”
Theresa’s words do not stand up to scrutiny.
Peter’s face sank for a few moments and he immediately waved her off, “What is this plotting and scheming again? Get out!”
Theresa looked incredulously at the man in front of her, the pair of good-looking eyes did not blink, but the eyes were welling up with tears, crystal shimmering and pitiful.
“Peter, you are too much, I just read that you are crazy about Adri, otherwise why would I find a woman similar to Adri and tell you about it?”
Turning around in exasperation, he wiped his tears while trotting off to the hospital.
Peter stood there alone, looking at the back of that side walking away, and murmured, “A woman quite similar to Adriana?”
The mouth says refuse, do not see, but there seems to be a voice in the heart constantly chanting: see, must see.
Perhaps that person is the Adriana herself, the one you’ve been thinking about day and night?
Peter even had a hint of illusion.
…
Aclurg Group.
Adriana arrived at the Aclurg Group with her secretary Rene.
Since Vivian and Anne were out of town, Adriana had to bring Rene along.
Adriana and Rene waited in the conference room for a while before they saw someone come in.
Is it Brenden and … Hayley?!
Why is she here too?
“Mr. Boone, wait a long time.”
When she entered the conference room, Brenden walked up to her and shook her hand, politely.
“We just got here, too.”
Adriana paid a smile and looked sideways at Hayley standing next to Brenden, “Mrs. Alston, hello.”
